RSX-Type R Engine ??

I know the US RSX K20's fit in our car, but what about the JDM engines, is there any difference, and if so what? Thanks in advance.

they will fit in fact in I and another member here are attempting it. The major differences is the internals (LSD :hail[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]. It is possible, expensive but possible

Yes, they will fit. VenemousCivic is getting this done. He has the Type R engine sittin' at his house. All he needs is the mounting kit from HAsport to start the project. Everything is basically the same except for some internals. The Type R has an LSD for example, yummy! It cat is placed further back than the RSX's, so the sensor wires will be longer. It has some other minor internal modifications that allow it to be produce 220hp and that allow it to rev to 8,400rpm. Nice huh?

there isnt much documentation yet but there is quite a bit on HASports sit if you know where to look. The engine and tranny is pricey but i got a great deal on it so keep your eyes open and youll find one if your rwally interested. Its a complicated hybrid swap but 220hp!!
